PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

Mumbai June 6: Auto major General Motors India plans to manufacture diesel engine for its Chevrolet Beat at its Talegaon manufacturing facility near Pune, according to a company official.
 “The one-litre diesel engine will be rolled-out from Talegaon early next year for our small car, Beat,” General Motors India Vice-President (Sales, Marketing & Services) Ankush Arora said. The auto major would also manufacture its 1.2-litre gasoline engine from the same facility, which would be introduced at the end of this year, he said.
 This manufacturing plant at Talegaon has a capacity to produce 1,60,000 engines. “By August-September, both the Talegaon and Halol (near Ahmedabad) manufacturing plants will be operating to full shifts,” he said.
 The car-manufacturer is also planning to ramp-up production of its small car Beat and sedan Cruze. “We are planning to increase the production of Cruze to 900 units from the current 600 units and intend to raise production of Beat units to 4,000 from 3,300 units,” Arora said.
